This striking contemporary interpretation of Michelangelo’s David reimagines the Renaissance icon with a dreamlike, almost celestial presence. The marble-pale figure is bathed in veils of gold leaf and splashes of vivid pigment — scarlet, cobalt, and sunlit yellow — creating an interplay between classical restraint and modern abstraction. In his hand, the globe shimmers like a fragile planet, suspended in a universe of fractured colour and cosmic dust. A lavishly carved gilt frame echoes the work’s opulence, while the marbled backdrop and bold geometric forms hint at timelessness disrupted. The effect is both reverent and subversive — an homage to the past, refracted through the restless lens of the present.
